Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

Leonor Gusmão mainly investigates Genetics, Microsatellite, Haplotype, Allele frequency and Population genetics. In her study, Mitochondrial DNA and Forensic genetics is strongly linked to Computational biology, which falls under the umbrella field of Genetics. When carried out as part of a general Microsatellite research project, her work on STR analysis is frequently linked to work in Engineering ethics, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

Leonor Gusmão has researched Haplotype in several fields, including Genealogy, Genetic structure, Genetic diversity and X chromosome. Her studies examine the connections between Allele frequency and genetics, as well as such issues in Latin Americans, with regards to Human migration, Colonialism, Population sample, Environmental protection and Portuguese. Her research on Population genetics also deals with topics like

  • Evolutionary biology most often made with reference to Genetic variation,
  • Genetic association that intertwine with fields like Ancestry-informative marker, Genotyping Techniques and Medical genetics,
  • Phylogeography that connect with fields like Haplogroup.

Her most cited work include:

  • DNA Commission of the International Society of Forensic Genetics (ISFG): an update of the recommendations on the use of Y-STRs in forensic analysis. (424 citations)
  • Assessing individual interethnic admixture and population substructure using a 48-insertion-deletion (INSEL) ancestry-informative marker (AIM) panel. (247 citations)
  • Publication of population data for forensic purposes (228 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Leonor Gusmão spends much of her time researching Genetics, Haplotype, Microsatellite, Allele and Y chromosome. Leonor Gusmão combines subjects such as Evolutionary biology and Population genetics with her study of Genetics. Her research integrates issues of Zoology, Genetic distance, Genetic variation and DNA profiling in her study of Haplotype.

Her Microsatellite research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Candida albicans, Molecular biology, X chromosome, Genotype and Sequence. Her Single-nucleotide polymorphism research integrates issues from Genotyping and DNA sequencing. In the field of Allele frequency, her study on Str loci overlaps with subjects such as Demography.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (80.72%)
  • Haplotype (40.56%)
  • Microsatellite (34.14%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Genetics (80.72%)
  • Haplotype (40.56%)
  • Evolutionary biology (28.31%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Her primary areas of study are Genetics, Haplotype, Evolutionary biology, Haplogroup and Demography. Her study in Genetics focuses on Allele, Microsatellite, Allele frequency, Genotype and Genetic variation. Her studies deal with areas such as Genotyping, Computational biology and X chromosome as well as Microsatellite.

Her Haplotype research focuses on Y chromosome and how it relates to Population genetics and Genetic marker. Her studies in Evolutionary biology integrate themes in fields like mtDNA control region, Population stratification and Genetic diversity. Leonor Gusmão interconnects Gene pool, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Mitochondrial DNA in the investigation of issues within Haplogroup.

Between 2014 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Massively parallel sequencing of forensic STRs: Considerations of the DNA commission of the International Society for Forensic Genetics (ISFG) on minimal nomenclature requirements (128 citations)
  • Massively parallel sequencing of forensic STRs: Considerations of the DNA commission of the International Society for Forensic Genetics (ISFG) on minimal nomenclature requirements (128 citations)
  • Massively parallel sequencing of forensic STRs: Considerations of the DNA commission of the International Society for Forensic Genetics (ISFG) on minimal nomenclature requirements (128 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • DNA

Leonor Gusmão mainly focuses on Genetics, Haplotype, Evolutionary biology, Population genetics and Haplogroup. Allele, Genotype, Microsatellite, Genetic variation and Allele frequency are among the areas of Genetics where the researcher is concentrating her efforts. As a part of the same scientific study, she usually deals with the Haplotype, concentrating on Genetic diversity and frequently concerns with Human migration.

The Evolutionary biology study combines topics in areas such as Prehistory, Context, Mainland and Austronesian languages. Her Population genetics research includes elements of Population stratification, Genetic drift, Genetic structure and Genetic admixture. Her work in Haplogroup addresses issues such as Y chromosome, which are connected to fields such as Str loci, Y-STR and Genetic distance.
